resolutions which were referred,
without reading, to the committee

We, the representatives of the
Democratic party of South Caro

reaffirm our allegiance to the
principles of tho party as for

ind illustrated by his successors
in leadership, and endorsed by
Dur people in the recent primary

We denounce as unpatriotic
and infamous the attempts which
have been made to Injure the
credit and honor of the State,
both at home and abroad.
The people of South Carolina,
conscious of their ability and
integrity, are determined that
every just obligation of the State
shal lbe honorably and promptly
discharged.

We earnestly recommeud to the i
Legislature to set apart by law 2
any excess of phosphate royalty,
after paying annual interest on
the State debt, as a sinking fund v

present the Democrocy of this
State of any of the measures

THE GOVERNOR'S SPEECH.
Mr. President and Gentlemen
>f the Convention: The Good
Book says that there is a time
cor all things. Judging by the
mantity of it we have had in
South Carolina during the past
summer, there must have been a
time for speaking, and I think I
have done my share of it. \ [Laugh
ter and applause.^ I shall, there
fore, trespass on your patience but
for a few moments tonight.
We have passed through a
very bitter, exciting and, I might
say, malignant campaign-of
white men against white men, of
Democrat against Democrat.
We have met here as the re
presentatives of a majority of the
Democratic people of South Caro?
lina. This convention is differ
ent from any other heretofore
held in South Carolina, inasmuch
as you have come direct from your
masters-the people. You have
not been constituted by any thim
ble-rigging county conventior
process, or "club" business, dele
gating its powers to send yoi1
here. But you have come righi
straight from the ground, fresl
from and in immediate touch anc
sympathy with the people.
The issues of tho campaigi
?eneral.
through which we haye just passed
are well understood, and it : is
quite unnecessary for me to
rehearse them now. One of these
issues-and perhaps the one that
was fought with the most bitter
ness, and excited the most ?htbus
siasm-was whether I should be
returned-to my home in Edgefield
with tko stigma of the disgrace
upon me that I wa* an unw.orthy
abd incompetent public servant,
wor whether I should receive: the
plaudits of my people as h?ving
tried to do my duty. ( Cheer? and
applause.) The; efforts put forth
by those who believed that I was
unfit to govern this'State wer? per
haps worthy of patriots, because
they certainly fought me with all
the ardoi, enthusiasm and vigor
of men en gae d ina patriotic un
dertaking.
But, I am not here to stigmatize
their motives. I am here ready to
a ck no wie dgo that there are good
men on both sides, patriots on
both sides, and that those who
fought the Farmers movement
and Befcrm in State afairs made
their fight on what they believed
to be their duty .{All I now ask them
is that they shall believe and ad
mit that we were actuated by a
sense of duty. (Ap plause.)
I stand here, gentlemen, to thank
the people of South Carolina who
have sent you here^ that they have
not sent me home in disgrace, but
have again placed in my hand the
banner which they gave me two
years ago-that banner of un
stained Democracy under which
we shall again move forward,
working with common will, com
mon zeal, and common energy for
the welfare of South Carolina.
(Applause.) Let me ask youj gen
tlemen, when you go back home,
to return my thanks to the people
again. Individually, too, I thank
you, because you have been in the
ranks with the masses. And to
those who have fought us L would
Say, we extend you the right hand
of fellowship, friendship, and
brotherly ..' C?rol'nlii?j to'.

disposition Comptroller General
Ellerbe waB not able to be present
and respond.
The following resolution, which
was offered by Col. D. K; Norrie,,
was then pa? sed :
We return thanks to our presid
ing officer for the able and impar
tial manner-in which he has* pre
siu^d^over 'thWeliberations of 'the1
body, and to our secretaries fdr the
effioieat discharge of-their-duties.
On m to i on o fi Col. Cole L. Bl ease,
of Newberry, the,following/esolu
tion, which will explain itself, was
passed :
We, the Democratic party of
South Carolina, in convention as
sembled, desire to express our ap
preciation of the patriotic services
of. the Columbi a Register \ and its
able editor, Mr. T. Li Gantt, in be
half of the cause of true Democ
racy and the rights of the people.
The .'resolution waB vigorously
opposed by Col. John C. Haskell,
who held that the convention had
already passed upon its subject
matter, that the committee on reso
lutions had been discharged and
that many members of the con
vention having left it would
amount to a snap judgment.
Col. Blease, in reply, simply
moved to suspend the, rules, and
the resolution was put and-carried
with a rush and a whoop.
In a few moments thereafter, at
9:30 p. m., the convention had
passed into history, to use a phrase
of Gov. Tillman, "the people be
ing still in the saddle."
Aunty-I feel provoked to think
that you and your mama wore ia
town the other day and went to s
restaurant instead of coming tc
our house for dinner. Why. didn*1
you come?

A stirring, Encounter.
Jp is a story of a duel to the
death between two wild! creatures
in the rem?le.forests of South
America.? The battle was watched
irorn&eginning to end by Manuel,
the tiger hunter. The duel was be
tweei|a. spotted tiger and a boa
constrictor. It was in the after
noon-[of a hot day that Manuel
walkeil softly down the path that
leoTjto'the camp, but upon this
occasion he* was creeping along
with- unsual stealthiness, for he
had a: pr?t ty clear idea that a tiger
was Swalking; along the path a
short distance in front of him. At
the ?roper"time he would attract
the tiger's attention and offer him
battle. Within a few hundred
yardli of his hut the hunter be
came' aware, from subtle animal
instinct, that the tiger had stop
ped m the path. The hunter paused
and listened. There was a rustling
in the leaves and a stirring in
the Undergrowth that he did not
quite understand. Undoubtedly
the ijiiger Jbad found something
that.attracted his attention. The
rustling ceased for a moment, but
began' agan a trifle more vigor
ously. Then came a low, muffled
, and a thrashing among the
leavps, as though the tiger was
showing his teeth and swinging
his .'tail from side to side. The
hunter crept forward like a shadow.
At ? curve in the path he stopped
short. A strange thing was going
.n ih the narrow path a few yards
before him. A tiger was pacing
back and forth, with his tail wav
ing ?nd his hair bristling in sud
denjanger. In front of him lay
a bilge boa constrictor, coiled
ready, for a spring. The big snake's
j eyes, shone like diamonds in the
sun, and his tongue darted in and
ou^like forked lightning. His
gr??t coils were a-quivering ! with
ragfc and fury. What had stirred
up those two wild creatures to a
pitch of anger, Manuel was unable
to Bjiiy. The snake had probably
lin the.path,' about, to seize

This annoyed the quadruped!
to such an extent that he showed
his teeth, -growled, and thrashed
his tail. It was at this instant
that the hunter came along the
path and stopped. Neither the
snake nor th? tiger saw him, and
he stepped quickly dehiru' a
caotuflbush to await hip /por
tt?n?ty,'of being; in. at tb/ .ch. It
very'soon became a; ont that
there was to' be i ug'ht. Both
creatures grew.more angry each
moment,.and, watching it- all with
internje delight, the hunter smiled
as one might smile who noted the
the condition of a favorite gladia
tor. While Manuel thought these
thoughts, these two wild things in
the path moved back and forth as
though sparring for au opening.
The snake was alert with'sullen
anger, Iiis glistening head darting
here and there like flashes of light.
The tiger was not so vindictively
savage, but his spotted hide
quivered with wave upon wave of
rising anger. At length the tiger,
unablb to restrain his rage, leaped
at the serpent's swaying head
like a dazzle of light, but the
snake's head was not there. The
tiger landed in the path on the
other side of the snake, but al
most before he had touched the
ground a glistening coil had been
thrown over him. He gave a
thrilling cry and leaped fully a
dozen feet in the air. He landed
sate and unharmed on his own
side of the path, a little shaken
up perhapss, but still full of good
fighting blood. The snake was
back in an instant, coiled ready
for defence. The tiger couched
in the path as if about to spring.
The snake quivered with nervous
preparations. The hunter caught
his breath in quick antici
pation. This was the critical
moment. Furious beyond all
control, the two wild creatures
sprang upon each other in the
same instant. For a scant half
second there was poised in the air
a yellow blur, wrapped about with
great glistening coils, like the
trunk of a small tree, and then
snake and tiger rolled in the dust
together. It was a grand battle3
and right nobly was it fought.
The serpent's coils were tighten
ing about the tiger with strained,
convulsive movements of the
shining skin, but the tiger's long
teeth; and sharp claws we're buried
deep in the serpent's neck and
body. In that terrible embrace
there could be no result other
than death. Tighter grew the
great coils ; the tiger's bones were
crackiug one by one. Deeper
sank the long teeth ; the serpent's
life-blood was forming little pools
in the path; convulsively the
'fighters rolled in the path, but
weaker grew their struggles.. The
end was coming. Perhaps foresee
ing the tiger made one frantic;
desperate effort to free himseif
from the deadly embrace, but the
blood-streaked coils only tigh
tened the more. Then the tiger
again sank his teeth and claws
into the serpent's neck and body.
He would die as he had lived, a
thing of unshaken courage. The
serpent, in a spasm of pain and
dying rage, tried once for all to
crush his enemy into a shapeless
mass, but his flesh and muscles
h*A been sadly torn away and his
*k was breaking under the tiger's
teeth. The hunter caught his
breath hard and stepped from the
shelter of the cactus bush. The
end was at hand. Death was
glazing the eyes of the tiger ; the
serpent's head fell helplessly to
one side. There was a. feeble
struggle in the shoulders of the
tiger, a galvanic shudder in the
coils of the serpent, and then& all
was still. It was over.
A Wonderful Star that No Man
Jas Seen.
The many wonderful discover
ies in astronomy recently made
by the aid of photography, have
seemed to leave the older methods
of astronomical investigation far
in the rear. But just now Mr. S.
C. Chandler, of Bcston. has made
what may be called a discovery by
the aid of mathematical methods,
recalling the achievement of Lever
rier and Adams in the^ detection
of Neptune fifteen year? ago. Their,
is in the norther _?y a star
known as.Algol, which the sharp
sighted Arabs, who discovered, ita

magnitude. After remaining thus
for a few minutes, it begins to
brighten, and in the course of
three or four hours more regains
its former brilliancy. Within the
past few years it has been dis
covered that there is a huge dark
body revolving around Algol at a
distance of some three million
miles, and to this phenomenon
the variations in Algol's light are
due. At regular intervals1 this
dark companion star comes into
the line of sight between Algol
and the earth, and thus partially
eclipses Algol, cutting off perhaps
five-sixths of its light. These
stars, Algol and its strange non
luminous comrade, are of great
size, Algol itself being more than
eleven hundred thousand miles in
diameter, while the diameter of
the dark body that circles around
it is eight hundred and forty
thousand miles.-New York Sun.
Supposed Leprosy.
When the witnesses in the Gates
case were being summoned yester
day to appear at the hearing to
day, a horrrible case of disease,
supposed to be leprosy, was un
earthed. To-day may witness some
interesting developments.
The unfortunate being is Robert
Lovett, a white man, who lives
about twelve or fifteen miles from
Columbia in the sand hills. He is
about fifty years of age and fought
all through the war.
He is the principal witness in
the case, and when Trial Justice
Kiernan was told of his condition
he said he could not enter his
office. The chief of police has
been notified about his coming to
the city. He will have to be
hauled here if he comes tor he
cannot walk.
A responsible man who has seen
him says the neighborhood doctor
has pronounced the case one of
genuine leprosy. All the flesh has
gone from a greater part of the
body and" his fingers and toes
have dropped o ff both hands and
feet. His fearful disease began
six years ago and for a while he
was in thc county almshouse. He
is pictured as being a revolting
sight now.
If the case is one of leprosy it
. is hard to tell where the man
could have caught it unless
through some old contaminated
clothing he may have picked up
during the war and brought home.
No one in the neighborhood has
i developed any symptoms.
'I Don't Care a Damn for - Votes

rf New. York, in response to the
mggestioa that he might lose
rotes if he ordered soldiers to
Fire Island to beat baok the
nhuman mob who wore re steting

passengers, will go thundering
lown the ages. The recording
ingel will not hesitate to write
lown that "damn" on the credit
ride of his book. It would made
in appropriate text for a laudatory
Sunday sermon. Nothing, could
it more cleverly into a d?ss?rtation
rn civil service reform. It is a
i Jacksonism, expressed in Jack

After the demonstration of

indignant patriotism and robust
